Lowell (Midnight in Ruby Bayou) expertly blends romance and suspense in a novel rich with undersea treasure hunting and deception. Kate Donnelly has avoided the Caribbean for the 15 years since her parents died in a diving accident, but her brother needs her to look at the books of the family salvage business, which is dangerously close to bankruptcy.
